The first is that this war will end soon. The second is that gas prices will then drop rapidly.

Neither will be true.

Especially the part about gas prices. Too much infrastructure has serious damage. Who is going to pay for those repairs?

These words will haunt Trump in short order. Especially if he puts boots on the ground. The lack of planning is embarrassing.
